lyrics

can you endure the world we live in, and maintain a sense of freedom
while they're still building prisons?
We all try to do what we can, while living on stolen land
they're building up the borders as we try to tear them down

and we're waiting for something that never comes
like a word on the tip of your tongue
a neverending negotiation between frustration and anticipation
but there's a lot that we've created, like the trust i have for you
i know you feel it too, though we're both too shy to say it

help me remember, help me remember how it felt
to believe that we could change it all
is it getting better? well, i'm getting better
at finding my place in it all

i can't promise that we're winning but as long as we don't give in
then i don't see how we could ever lose
and when i think i'm losing hope
it makes me feel better to know this is only a beginning

and i'm constantly surprised by just how hard people fight
if you don't think we've come that far, then take a look back to the start

i can't promise that we're winning but as long as we don't give in
then i don't see how we could ever lose
and when i think i'm losing hope
it makes me feel better to know this is only a beginning

it's you i'm following, but you don't know where we're going
guess we'll just have to decide when we get there
